DON’T FEED THE DRAGON It was midnight. Or close to it. I was in the middle of an intense prophetic dream where God was giving me glimpses into deep spiritual realms and His plan for the church for 2024. I was not prepared for what happened next. Just as God was showing me golden wheels, […]
Burden Bearing Baring In the last post, I shared how I learned to see prophetic burden bearing as a gift and not as…well…a burden. Today I’m going to bare my heart a little bit and share a more recent story of my journey as a burden bearer. It is my prayer that my story encourages […]
Prophetic Burden Bearing: It’s a Gift, Right? In the last post I shared about bearing one another’s burdens, what it is—and what it isn’t. I briefly mentioned a different kind of burden bearing, and today I wanted to take a deeper dive into it. Prophetic burden bearing. This is VERY different from letting Christ bear […]
Bearing Burdens Burden bearing. As someone who operates in the prophetic, this phrase brings a flood of memories of sudden shifts in emotions or thought patterns, ones that definitely weren’t mine—or God’s. As a mother of prophetic kids, it brings up even more recent memories of learning how to walk my daughters through those moments […]
Pause. Breathe Healing Grace “I can’t, Lord. It’s just too painful.” That was an actual prayer. Nope, not joking. Something had happened, well, actually, something was done toward me, that was hurtful. Oh, I had forgiven the person. There was no animosity or anger in my heart. Zip, zilch, zero, however you want to say […]
CAST BURDENS WE DON’T KNOW WE’RE CARRYING God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: But God, this isn’t a burden. I’m hurting! God: Remember, I said to cast your burdens upon Me. Me: Ummm…. This is pretty close to a conversation I had had with God. I had been hurt, pretty […]
Weeding Through Our Perspectives It was hot and humid. It was one of those days you could drip sweat just sitting still. There I was, out in my flowerbeds, yanking weeds. I’d love to say that I was rejoicing in my task at hand, basking in the sunshine, getting my fingers into the beautiful soil, […]
Rooster’s Crow Moment Gut-wrenching pain. Blistering conscience. A piercing, eyes-locked moment that made history. This is how I imagine the scene of Peter’s betrayal of Jesus as found in Luke 22. Peter, Jesus’s disciple. And more than that, His friend. Peter, someone that Jesus poured His life into literally day in and day out for […]
Do We Take Steps or Make Prisons? It happened so many years ago. Honestly, it was one of those memories that was buried and forgotten. It wasn’t a pleasant memory, but I thought I had completely dealt with it, until I realized, there was more. I was in fifth grade and looking forward to leaving […]
MAKING THE INSIDE MATCH THE OUTSIDE Isn’t it fun to be excited? Isn’t it fun to have something to look forward to? But what happens when all that time spent in anticipation and excitement ends up becoming a huge disappointment? What happens when we can do absolutely nothing to change our circumstances or the outcome?This […]
